| Description: |
In this book, Williams present a history of the legal ideas that American Indian peoples sought to apply in their relations with the West during the North American encounter era, 1600-1800. By focusing on the perspectives of American Indians during this historic era of treaty making with Europeans and their American offspring, Williams discerns a model for co-operation that holds promise for co-operation among diverse groups in multicultural societiestoday. |
| Synopsis: |
Robert Williams attempts to write Indians back into Indian law by developing a greater appreciation for the contributions of American Indian legal visions and demonstrating how ancient treaty visions can speak to the modern, multicultural age. Williams maintains there is an important need for a more complete account of the legal visions of the American Indians. In this work, he examines the Indians' role in the history of legal traditions which have determined Indian rights in the USA, including the Indian conceptions of justice, their traditions, and practices. Doing so is essential to protecting Indian tribalism's survival under US law. In addition, understanding how the American Indian legal traditions have worked to help perpetuate Indian tribalism might also assist in beginning to understand how US law may achieve racial justice more generally. |
